Student coping strategies during COVID

I conducted a qualitative investigation through a focus group for my MY421 research project to uncover the ways postgraduate students at LSE experienced socialising throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

The results highlighted various coping strategies students utilised including escapism, hope, inclusivity, social media, and reconciling change.

The research highlights the unique challenges students have faced over the last year while demonstrating their resilience and readiness for the post-COVID world.
